SECTION 4. Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. — Where
uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the Zoning Maps,
the following rules shall apply:
(a) Where zone boundaries are so indicated, that they
approximately follow the center of streets or highways, street
lines or highway right-of-way lines, such center line, street line,
street lines or highway lines shall be construed to be the
boundaries;
(b) Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they so
approximately follow the lot lines shall be construed to be the
boundaries;
(c) Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately
parallel to the center lines or street lines of street, or the center
or the right-of-way lines of highways, such district boundaries
shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance
there from as indicated on the Zoning Map. If no distance is
given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of scale of
the Zoning Map; aEcADH
(d) Where the boundaries of a zone follows a railroad line, such

boundaries shall be deemed to be located in the middle of the
main tracts of said railroad line;
(e) Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, lake or other
bodies of water, said boundary line shall be deemed to be at the
limit of the political jurisdiction of the community if it be located
threat, otherwise the boundary shall be located at the bank or
shore of the stream, lake or river. Boundaries indicated as
parallel to, or extension of features not specifically indicated in
the Zoning Map shall be determined by the scale of the Zoning
Map;
(f) Where boundary shall be indicated in the Zoning Map, using the
scale appearing on such map;
(g) Where a lot of one ownership, as of record at the effective date
of this Ordinance, is divided by the zone boundary line, the lot
shall be construed to be within the zone where the major portion
of the lot is located. In case the lot is bisected by the boundary
line, it shall fall in the zone where the principal use falls;
(h) Where the zone boundary is indicated as one lot deep, said
depth shall be construed to be the average lot depth of the lots
involved within such particular city block. Where, however, any
lot has a depth greater than the said average, the remaining
portion of said lot shall be construed by the one-lot-deep zoning
district if the remaining portion has an area less than fifty percent
(50%) of the total area equivalent to fifty percent (50%) or more
of the total area of the lot, then the average lot depth shall apply
to the lot which shall become a lot divided and covered by two or
more different zoning districts as the case may be.
SECTION 5. Interpretation of Mixed Uses in Any Single Lot and/or
Structure Within the A Zone. — In case it appears that in any given lot or
structure within a zone there is a variety or plurality of uses to which it is
devoted, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:
(a) The lot and/or building shall be classified as a conforming use
that complies with the regulations of the zone in which it is
located, provided that the main or principal use of the land and/or
building is consistent with the allowable uses for such zone;
(b) The use of lot and/or building shall be classified as being that to
which it is principally devoted, for which purpose, the principal
use shall be determined in accordance with the following
guidelines:
(1) The use which causes the most significant social,
economic, and/or environmental impact, in terms of
revenue-raising capacity, population, density, resource
potential, or physical effect on the adjacent and
surrounding areas, shall be considered as the principal use
of the structure, regardless of the area of the land or
building that is occupied by such uses;
(2) In the absence of or in the event of any difficulty in
interpreting the principal use as above provided, then the
principal use shall be considered as that to which the
greater portion or area of such land or building is devoted;
(3) In case that mixed uses consist of two uses of similar
nature but classified under different zones due to density
differences, the higher density use shall be considered as
the use of the property; in the event any use belongs to a
higher category zone with more strict regulations, the
lot/building shall be construed as being devoted to such
use.
In case of any remaining doubt as to the location of any property along
zone boundary lines, such property shall be considered as falling within the
less restrictive zone. CDaTAI
